Trabajadores indígenas en el Chaco Argentino: Algunos sentidos estigmatizadores

Abstract

The indigenous Qom people of the central-eastern Chaco (in northeastern Argentina) are workers who are being expelled from agrarian production. This work seeks to help us understand the materiality that this process assumes in peoples' minds, teasing out the following meanings: the tension between "marisca" and "labour", the supposed absence of a "productive culture", and the "dependency" in which Chaco indigenous people allegedly are immersed.
